I have two issues with this witch hunt. First.. the very people leading it voted across the board to cut funding to protect our embassies and consulates. This is fact. Yet they exonerate themselves from any culpability with finger pointing and accusing others of not doing enough to protect these people. Second.. where was all this outrage on the many embassy/consulate attacks that occurred during the last presidency? So.. we cannot afford to protect these people, but we can afford to spend tens of millions of dollars investigating one incident while ignoring over a dozen other similar instances. It's ugly and regrettable, but politicizing the deaths of these people to smear the character of someone one party views as a threat is a morally bankrupt move. Not that I think Hillary is the greatest Secretary of State we have ever had, but Condi was never called into question when far more people were killed and injured in similar circumstances on her watch.
